Why saber rhymes the way it does
Saber sits on the r-coloured schwa, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 4,934, and consonance 232. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Saber is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
